INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the RM2 and optional function
Modules. The Rack Mount Players & Recorders from Galaxy
Audio is a diverse line of CD Players, Digital Players/Recorders,
Cassette Players/Recorders, and AM/FM tuners. Various
combinations of two modules can be installed into the single
space RM2 rack chassis. The RM2 supplies power and provides
rear panel inputs and outputs for the modules. The RM2
features dedicated Stereo RCA Outputs for each Module, a
Priority Stereo RCA Output, a Stereo RCA Input for recording,
and AM and FM antenna terminals.

The RM2 features two dedicated stereo outputs, allowing the
installed modules to be used as two separate devices in a single
rack space. Applications include having the RM2 equipped with
two different modules to service 2 different zones or rooms,
such as in a restaurant, school, church, etc. This configuration
also allows separate control of each module at the mixer. By
contrast, the stereo priority output allows program material from
both modules to appear at a single stereo output. This feature is
useful when continuous automatic playing of various media is
desired. One module is assigned as the priority unit As soon as
that particular unit produces a signal it will override the other
unit, and only it's signal will be present at the priority output
jacks. As soon as the priority device is no longer producing a
signal, the signal from the secondary unit will be fed to the
priority output jacks. Since the two devices feed a single stereo
output, the priority feature also helps conserve mixer input
channels. (NOTE: The priority feature only functions with the
RM-CDM as the priority device.)

.

RM2 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

The RM2 setup and connection procedure will always
depend on which modules are installed into the unit and the
peripheral devices connected to it. As a general rule, make sure
all the power switches of all devices are in the off position before
making the power and audio/video connections. Plug the
included AC Adapter into an AC outlet of the specified voltage
and connect it to the DC In Jack on the rear panel. Alternatively
you may supply 12-13.5VDC, 1.5A to the DC In Screw Terminals
on the rear panel. Be sure to observe the correct polarity. Once
all connections are made, make sure all volume controls are set
to the minimum before switching on the devices. Power up the
equipment in the order of signal flow, with the source devices
first (including the RM2), then the mixer and processors, and
finally the power amps last. This will prevent any loud switching
“pops” in the system. The preferred power down order would be
the reverse of this.

RM-DIGIREC-Digital Recorder

One Galaxy Audio RM-DIGIREC, digital recorder, may be installed into
the RM2, rack mount chassis along with one of the other modules. The
RM-DIGIREC records to 44.1KHz MP3 format. The unit has an internal
Flash memory, which will record about 2 hours of Stereo audio. An SD
card can also be inserted (up to a 1 GB) for longer record time (about 16
hours of stereo audio). The front panel of the unit features a pair of ¼" Mic
Level Input Jacks and a corresponding Record Level Control. Also located
on the front panel are all function selection buttons (play, pause, stop,
repeat, etc.) Recording may also be accomplished using the Stereo RCA
Line (REC IN) jacks on the back panel.
The RM-DIGIREC is great for many applications including: recording a
church service and then downloading to a computer for posting on the
web, recording live music, recording corporate or government meetings,
or simply for playback in PA systems.
